Full Time Servant Chapter 406

"Fine, then let's... Xiaoyao, where are you planning to go?" Xuanwu Lingxiao was about to say "start" when she noticed Xiaoyao beginning to leave.

"Of course I'm going back. You have something to do now, and you've shaken off that base young master. There's nothing for me to do here. I need to go back to work—there are still many things I haven't done," Xiaoyao waved his hand, preparing to retire after accomplishing his mission.

In fact, Xuanwu Lingxiao's purpose in bringing Xiaoyao out had been achieved. Now Shang Lingjian was nowhere to be found and shouldn't cause trouble for Xiaoyao anymore.

However, while the original purpose had been achieved, she now had new ideas. She felt Xiaoyao was an interesting person, and keeping him by her side might be quite nice.

"Come with me first. You should also be interested in swordplay, right? My battle with Zhuque Leiting will benefit you. The Zhuque family's Vermillion Bird Spear Technique is also unparalleled under heaven. Not many people know it, and this Zhuque Leiting happens to know it. It's rarely seen," Xuanwu Lingxiao wanted to keep Xiaoyao around.

Xuanwu Lingxiao's behavior puzzled Zhuque Leiting, who knew Xuanwu Lingxiao best because they were rivals. Precisely because she understood her, she knew Xuanwu Lingxiao's attitude toward people. Her treatment of this servant seemed a bit too good.

Zhuque Leiting had already discovered Xiaoyao's identity because he wore the servant clothing of the Xuanwu family, which she was quite familiar with. Chapters fırst released on NoveI★Fire.net

How strange. Could it be that this Xuanwu Lingxiao liked this kind of thing—not loving young masters but loving servants? How unexpected!

"Mm, alright then. Where are you going to spar? I'm afraid I can't keep up with you," Xiaoyao nodded. Xuanwu Lingxiao was right—this was a rare opportunity. He wanted to see the Vermillion Bird Spear Technique. As for Xuanwu Lingxiao's swordplay, he wasn't interested because he was already very familiar with the Supreme Sword Arts.

"Since you're walking, I won't compete with her. We'll walk slowly," Xuanwu Lingxiao said with a smile.

What?! Not competing and walking slowly?

Zhuque Leiting was a bit surprised, but it seemed there was no way to change this. She could only follow Xuanwu Lingxiao while observing Xiaoyao.

"Oh, Phoenix Feather Silk Workshop is releasing new clothes! Let's go in and look!"

Soon, Xiaoyao discovered that the two young ladies in front had begun to lean toward shopping, completely forgetting they had just been arranging a duel. At first, it was Xuanwu Lingxiao looking at things on the side—accessories, fans, and such. Later, Zhuque Leiting also went to look at things, and their interest grew stronger and stronger.

Now they seemed to have completely forgotten their original purpose. The two girls were even giving each other opinions. Where did they look like rivals? They were just like close friends.

Women really were unpredictable, wonderful creatures!

Xiaoyao wanted to remind them, but he felt it would be useless. No one could stop women from shopping, except for life-and-death matters.

"The duel? We'll talk about it later. It's not like we don't have time... Shopkeeper, give me that purple dress..." This was their answer.

Well, he might as well wait on the side. After all, he had originally come to accompany Xuanwu Lingxiao shopping anyway. This was just returning to the main topic.

"Xiaoyao, do I look good ?" Xuanwu Lingxiao changed into a new outfit and asked for Xiaoyao's opinion. Don't misunderstand—he was the only man here she could ask. She had heard enough women's opinions.

Xiaoyao turned around to see Xuanwu Lingxiao in a light purple dress. Though it was a simple style, it brought out a mysterious, noble aura that made her temperament compelling.

"Mm, very good. This way shows that you're more noble, Miss Lingxiao! If you let your hair hang down, it might be even better!" Xiaoyao didn't give a perfunctory response but offered Xuanwu Lingxiao the most sincere evaluation.

"?" Xuanwu Lingxiao let down her long beautiful hair, letting it hang down completely naturally. Her waterfall-like hair made the nearby girls very envious.

With this change, everyone discovered that her temperament seemed even more compelling than before. Though she was still the same person, it felt like something had been added.

This guy has a sharp eye! Zhuque Leiting looked at Xiaoyao, thinking to herself.

"I'll take this one!" Seeing everyone's expressions, Xuanwu Lingxiao understood the effect she was having now. She was very satisfied and naturally decided to buy the dress.

"How much?" Xiaoyao immediately went to ask the price, preparing to buy it. This was service for his master's family—he often did this, though he hadn't bought anything from this place before.

What? One hundred taels? Could it be that my price standards don't match this place? Xiaoyao was stunned. He hadn't yet encountered the price standards of this place.

But he had bought many things, including fabric for making such clothes, and those prices were all very normal. One hundred taels could buy more than a hundred pieces of such fabric.

"Mm, this price is acceptable," Xuanwu Lingxiao nodded, preparing to take out a bank note to pay.

"Acceptable?" Xiaoyao looked at Xuanwu Lingxiao, watching that bank note. He somehow felt the bank note seemed fake—paying out one hundred taels without any feeling at all.

Even though he knew the Xuanwu family was very wealthy and one hundred taels wasn't much to Xuanwu Lingxiao, it still seemed like quite a lot!

"What's wrong?" Xuanwu Lingxiao looked at Xiaoyao. From his tone and expression, she sensed confusion, doubt about this dress.

At this moment, she thought there might be some quality problem with the dress, not the price, because this price was normal to her.

Whether Xuanwu Lingxiao or Zhuque Leiting, they had bought clothes here more than once. The clothes here were made by the Azure Dragon Empire's top tailors, each piece taking several months to complete. Calculating it this way, one hundred taels wasn't too much.

"I feel this dress isn't worth this price. But it depends on your own opinion, Miss Lingxiao," Xiaoyao replied. He could only suggest—he couldn't make Xuanwu Lingxiao give up.

Suggestions were just fulfilling a servant's duty, not letting the master's family suffer losses!

"Alright then, I won't take it," Xuanwu Lingxiao looked at Xiaoyao for a while, then said.

"What?!" Zhuque Leiting wanted to say something to Xiaoyao about not knowing good goods, but she didn't expect Xuanwu Lingxiao would give up so decisively. Why would she listen to a little servant's words? Could her earlier guess be true?

"Hmph, how ridiculous. To actually say the clothes here aren't worth this price—what ignorance! Xuanwu Lingxiao, how could you bring such a person here? So embarrassing," a voice came over, full of disdain and mockery.

"How coincidentally, she's here too?" Zhuque Leiting thought to herself. This woman always caused trouble for no reason. Now that she had latched onto them, who knew how long it would take to end.

It looked like today's duel with Xuanwu Lingxiao would come to nothing.

Zhuque Leiting still remembered the duel—it was just postponed slightly while they bought some clothes, accessories, rouge, and powder. For girls, these were in the primary position, even if they were martial artists.

Since Zhuque Leiting knew this woman, Xuanwu Lingxiao naturally knew her too, because her relationship with this woman was even worse than with Zhuque Leiting. Zhuque Leiting was at most a rival; this one was an extremely detestable opponent.

"Baihu Yingqiong, whom I bring has nothing to do with you. Also, the person I bring is my person. If you dare say anything more, be careful I don't carve a few bloody marks on you," Xuanwu Lingxiao said coldly.

"You..." Baihu Yingqiong was immediately enraged because these bloody marks were one of her weak spots. She had several unhealable scars on her body. For a girl who loved beauty, having several terrible scars on her body was definitely a weak spot—whoever touched it would die.

Baihu Yingqiong burst with killing intent, making those nearby feel a chill. Some among them were also martial artists. Seeing Baihu Yingqiong and Xuanwu Lingxiao, they understood there might be a great battle.

Even those who weren't martial artists could understand. Everyone knew the three great families—Xuanwu, Zhuque, and Baihu—had poor relationships. They hadn't expected to see the most representative new generation women of the three great families today.

But this was also quite normal. Even though they were the most dazzling new generation experts, they were still women. All the wealthy women in Azure Dragon City would come here to buy clothes. The clothes here were the fashion indicator of Azure Dragon City.

"Ladies, ladies, whatever the matter, please talk it over nicely. Don't hurt the harmony. This small shop is small and can't withstand both of your disruptions," the beautiful shopkeeper immediately appeared to mediate. Phoenix Feather Silk Workshop was her life's work! Any random piece of clothing here could feed a family for several years. If some were damaged, she would suffer huge losses.

She might dare demand compensation from others, but what kind of people were these two? They were the treasured daughters of the Xuanwu and Baihu families. If they damaged things and said it wasn't their business, she could only cry.

"This time, for Shopkeeper Phoenix Feather's sake, I'll let it go for now. Be more careful what you say next time! Hmph!" Baihu Yingqiong said coldly.

"You're letting it go, but I'm not. You dared speak about my person—you better be careful too!" Xuanwu Lingxiao coldly counterattacked.

Her person? What person? Could it be that young man beside her? Shouldn't he be just a little servant? Why would Xuanwu Lingxiao protect him ?

These series of questions appeared in everyone's minds, including Baihu Yingqiong's. She hadn't expected Xuanwu Lingxiao to be so persistent. Logically, everyone should call it quits now—fighting wouldn't look good.

Although she wasn't afraid of fighting, she felt it would be undignified in front of so many people!

Just as everyone was surprised about who Xiaoyao was, they discovered that Xiaoyao was no longer in his original position but beside the shopkeeper who had just appeared. He said something that left everyone speechless.
